• Figuring prominently amongst the various machines exhibited will be those displayed by the Arid l Works, Ltd. These will comprise two of the company's 5.50 h.p. motorcycles, one as an open truck-sidecar outfit and the other with a commercial-van attachment. The motorcycle combinations whicl sire to be shown by the Birmingham Small Arms Co., Ltd., Birmingham, should command much attention.

Dtmford and Elliott (Sheffield), Ltd., one of the pioneers of commercial-sidecar outfits, will be exhibiting the Dunelt. model H, truck ontfit and the type K box-carrier combination. The former

The model K outfit, which is powered With a 250 c.c. engine, is stated to be capable of travelling 80 miles on a gallon of fuel and can carry loads up to I cwt.

Three churns can be easily accommodated in this car, rier, which will be attached to the Enfield standard 9.76 h.p. twin-cylinder motorcycle.
